  • The complementarity of audit and judicial review: The ‘homes for votes’ scandal in the UK

    Open AccessGavin DrewryARTICLEInternational Review of…2005

    The mechanisms of public accountability can take many different forms, and those who hold others to account must themselves be accountable. A recent case of serious electoral malpractice in a UK local authority illustrates some important points about mechanisms of accountability and redress — in particular the potential complementarity between the inquisitorial role of an auditor, and the essentially adversarial nature of the judicial process. It…

  • The 1998 State Council Organizational Streamlining: Personnel reduction and change of government function

    Che-Po Chan, Che Po Chan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Contemporary China2001Cited by: 5References: 2

    The two goals of the 1998 State Council organizational streamlining were personnel reduction & a change of government functions. It is argued that the methods being used to achieve personnel reduction do not constitute a real reduction but largely involve transferring staff to other public institutions. Real personnel reduction could not be achieved without a major change of government function. Institutional reforms of both the central & local g…

  • Public Law

    Open AccessGavin DrewryARTICLEPublic Administration1995Cited by: 1References: 10

    Traditionally, both the academic study and the practice of UK public administration have drawn very little inspiration from the discipline of public law. In contrast to most other European countries, in which public services are subject to extensive administrative‐legal codes, and in which administrative disputes fall under the jurisdiction of separate and specialized administrative courts, UK administrative law remains – recent reforms notwithst…

  • Judicial politics in Britain: Patrolling the boundaries

    Gavin DrewryARTICLEWest European Politics1992Cited by: 3References: 11

    This study considers judicial policy‐making in Great Britain by noting the peculiarly British institutional restraints on judicial action of parliamentary sovereignty, the resulting subordination of all courts to the legislative branch and the absence of a codified charter of rights or constitution. Though there is no judicial power to annul legislative or executive actions, British courts and judges still play a small, but significant, role in p…

    Here is a contract made by a fishmonger and a carrier of fish who know their business, and whether it is just and reasonable is to be settled by me who am neither fishmonger nor carrier, nor with any knowledge of their business. (Lord Bramwell, 1883) (1) For myself I believe that in the present state of the democratic process in Britain and for so long as one can see into the future, the judge should share the popular rather than the official out…

    There is in Britain a longstanding gulf between the study and practice of public administration on the one hand, and the study and practice of public law on the other. This state of affairs contrasts sharply with the situation in many other countries of Western Europe, where public administration is underpinned by well‐developed systems of administrative law. Recent procedural and substantive developments in the field of judicial review of admini…

  • Lord Haldane's Ministry of Justice — Stillborn or Strangled at Birth

    Open AccessGavin DrewryARTICLEPublic Administration1983

    Echoes of the Haldane Committee's proposal in 1918 for the establishment of a Ministry of Justice can still be heard in current debate about the machinery of justice. Yet the Haldane proposal itself vanished almost without trace in the inter‐war years. This article examines the content and the context of the sporadic debate and concludes that the non‐implementation of the proposal is attributable to the innate conservatism of the legal profession…
